I need some advice.  We would like to have some sort of interactive
graphics design package for our SUN system.  We have a 3/180 serving 5
3/50s and a diskful 3/60, all running SUN OSv3.5 (no upgrade in the near
future).  We have the public domain MacPaint-like raster image
manipulator, touchup;  it is useful but limited to pixel-by-pixel work.
We are certainly aware of the capabilities of AutoCAD; howver, it is
expensive.

I would like to hear about any public or reasonably priced commercial
packages available which will permit relatively complex graphics work such
as (prehaps) object manipulation, paint and draw, text insertion and font
capacities... etc..  Basically, we are looking for something closer to the
real MacPaint, MacDraw, Illustrator (Mac applications) or cheaper than
AutoCAD.

If this has been reveiwed before, prehaps someone can point in me toward
the correct issue.  Otherwise, Email to me direct and I shall summarize if
there is sufficient information.

Thanks in advance,
